Unlucky for me in Hunan. Hmm.

[Ichabod]

Yes, I got very lucky in Hunan…for my point of view, I’m glad one area went better.

I’ll take 2/3 UK fighter hits in SZ110 in trade for Hunan.

I think you’re off to a great start this game as the Axis. Probably a strong Moscow purchase might net result in a Moscow sack on round 8 or sooner. I should not have scrambled as the UK.

I’m curious to see if you’re going Sea Lion or not? London is pretty bare.

I’m not keen on Sea Lion and you had a bunch of USN in the Atlantic

It was an accident blitzing through Sth France. I want to undo the vichy disband via edit.

Wrong thread.

@Ichabod:

Yes, I got very lucky in Hunan…for my point of view, I’m glad one area went better.

I’ll take 2/3 UK fighter hits in SZ110 in trade for Hunan.

I think you’re off to a great start this game as the Axis. Probably a strong Moscow purchase might net result in a Moscow sack on round 8 or sooner. I should not have scrambled as the UK.

I actually like Sea Lion when I know that I can properly manage Russia. I think it’s more deadly than people give it credit. Many details have to go Germany’s favor for me to go for it.

I was disappointed that my 3 fighter scramble in SZ110 all completely missed. The German Battleship wasn’t there so I had a chance to hurt Germany’s air force…still scrambling is not usually optimal, but dang; well, it’s a dice game; just the way it goes sometime.

[Ichabod]

Hindsight is 20/20 of course, but a reason I thought I could manage Russia is because you were going for Scandinavia; post Sea Lion, it’s easier to get that back as opposed to dislodging a strong Russian stack from E. Poland gobbling up NOs along the border.

[simon33]

I’m surprised that would make Sea Lion weaker in your opinion. I suppose if you hold on to your sea lion transports, retaking Scandanavia shouldn’t be too difficult but generally I see them being sunk by the USA eventually.

I buy 1-2 carrier the turn I do Sea Lion; hopefully have enough planes for them. Unless the US has a stack of bomber coming and lands on Scotland or Ireland, that’s the only I’ve seen the US sink the German fleet in SZ110.

No, I think Sea Lion is not weaker when Russia goes for Scandinavia. That means less of a threat to Berlin and less likely for Russia to hold E. Poland which is harder for Germany post - Sea Lion. That’s what I meant. With all of those transports, in the Baltic Germany can land on Norway on say turn 4 or most like turn 5.

I try to get in position after a Sea Lion game in the Baltic where as Germany I can threaten to kill a US fleet in SZ 110 and re-take London. If of course the US spends so much money to come with the power to easily hold SZ 110, than Japan better be kicking butt.

[Ichabod]

I don’t think I’ve ever purchased an aircraft carrier and 2 transports G1.

I guess that might be another way to counter your US-Norway / Russia-Finland move other than throwing away 16 IPCs (or the cruiser and 1 destroyer as blockers just to die).

I don’t like purchasing boats with Germany unless I’m getting London or Cairo. If not, then I think Germany has to spend a lot of money on non-mobile units like infantry with some artillery at least 2 turns of shuck-shuck to Leningrad to mitigate the costs.
